Deploy a production DB #3

Closed benevbright closed 3 years ago

benevbright commented 3 years ago

We need to find a cheap solution to have a mongoDB instance.

benevbright commented 3 years ago

@nishi-ai I've deployed a production DB using MongoDB Atlas (free remote mongodb platform)

We can connect to this instance by following

mongosh "mongodb+srv://cluster0.ddfbs.mongodb.net/softball" --username root

The password is XXX.

url: mongodb+srv://cluster0.ddfbs.mongodb.net/softball Once all the mongodb setup on Node.js is done, we can use this url for the production server to connect.

when using this mongodb url from mongoose, it's mongodb+srv://__USERNAME__:__PASSWORD__@cluster0.ddfbs.mongodb.net/softball Please ask me what's username and password.

@nishi-ai I've added username and password of our mongoDb production on Heroku console using "Heroku Config vars" https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/config-vars. it's the same thing with the local environment variable.

What does this mean? It means that Heroku will set process.env.MONGODB_USERNAME and process.env.MONGODB_PASSWORD at the deployment. So in our node code, we can use these environment variables. (make sure to use them when process.env.NODE_ENV is "production")

Note that these variables will be undefined on development.
